Xu Xiuwen smiled and said, "This is normal when just learning to swim, don't worry, I'm your strongest support."
Upon hearing Xu Xiuwen's words, An Shishi looked up with a sweet smile on her face.
Her smile was sweet too, but compared to it, Bai Yue'er's smile was even sweeter.
An Shishi smiled, perhaps because she has a small mole on the tip of her nose, giving her a scholarly demeanor.
"Come, let's continue."
Xu Xiuwen placed the floating board in front of An Shishi again, and the girl grabbed onto it with both hands, then, with Xu Xiuwen's assistance, began to move her legs.
On the second attempt, An Shishi made rapid progress.
There were no more accidents or mistakes.
Xu Xiuwen continued to teach her the next movement, swinging her arms.
He first demonstrated once, then, like teaching Bai Yue'er before, he clasped An Shishi's waist with both hands for support, keeping her body from sinking into the water.
As soon as Xu Xiuwen's hands touched the girl's waist, her body began to squirm violently, losing balance instantly and falling into Xu Xiuwen's arms again.
An Shishi's arms naturally wrapped around Xu Xiuwen's neck, her body leaning against his chest.
The soft fragrance wafted through the air, and there was an indescribable scent emanating from An Shishi's body, very pleasant.
An Shishi's laughter caught the attention of Xiao Youran and Song Siyu not far away.
Xiao Youran felt a bit uncomfortable seeing the intimate posture of the two.
Song Siyu shouted directly, "Xu Xiuwen, what are you doing?"
An Shishi smiled and moved away from Xu Xiuwen, while explaining to Song Siyu, "It's nothing, Siyu. I'm just too afraid of itching and didn't stand firm."
Song Siyu walked over, "Shishi, what are you doing?"
An Shishi smiled and said, "I asked Xu Xiuwen to teach me how to swim."
Song Siyu glanced at Xu Xiuwen and snorted, "Don't take advantage of the opportunity."
Xu Xiuwen didn't engage with her. He turned to An Shishi and said, "Come on, Shishi, let's continue."
An Shishi nodded, then grabbed the floating board again, preparing to let her body float first.
This time, An Shishi seemed to be more prepared mentally. After Xu Xiuwen's hand came up, although her body still swayed slightly, the amplitude was very small.
The girl followed Xu Xiuwen's instructions, swinging her arms with very correct posture.
Xu Xiuwen couldn't help but praise, "Shishi, you're really smart."
An Shishi smiled at the words.
Song Siyu, seeing the two of them, had a calm expression, no one knew what she was thinking.
"Why are you still here?" Xu Xiuwen turned his head to look at her and asked.
Song Siyu didn't say anything and walked away again.
...
An Shishi has a particularly strong learning ability. After teaching her the movements, she practiced alone a few times and could swim very easily.
The girl swam back and forth in the pool. When she returned to Xu Xiuwen, she stood firm and said, "Master, how do you think I did?"
Looking at the girl's eager expression, Xu Xiuwen smiled and raised his thumb, praising her, "You did great."
An Shishi shyly smiled, "A great teacher produces outstanding students; it's all thanks to your excellent teaching, Master."
Bai Yue'er, seeing An Shishi's performance, felt extremely discouraged.
Clearly, she had started learning first and practiced for longer than An Shishi, but she felt like a clumsy duck, progressing very slowly, unable to swim back and forth like An Shishi.
Xiao Youran also noticed An Shishi's performance and swam over to say, "Shishi, you swim very well. If I didn't know you just learned, I would really think you're a expert swimmer."
An Shishi waved her hand and said, "Youran, your swimming is the real deal. I'm far behind you."
"Alright, stop complimenting each other. You both swim very well. Youran and I used to go to the swimming pool often since we were kids, so it's normal for us to swim well. Shishi, you've really impressed me."
Bai Yue'er also walked over and said, "Yeah, you learn so quickly, unlike me. I'm so clumsy."
"Ignorance is forgivable if one is willing to learn diligently. It's just that it's worrisome if you don't realize your own shortcomings," replied Xu Xiuwen.
Upon hearing Xu Xiuwen's words, although Bai Yue'er knew he was speaking the truth, she couldn't help but scrunch her nose at him, looking both annoyed and adorable.
Four people chatted for a while and then all started laughing.
It seemed like someone had been forgotten.
Xu Xiuwen suddenly remembered that Song Siyu had been silent for a long time.
He looked around and found Song Siyu sitting by the pool, her head lowered, her long legs swinging in the water.
Since Song Siyu changed into her swimsuit, Xu Xiuwen hadn't seen her swim. Unable to resist, he finally asked, "Song Siyu, why haven't I seen you swim? Don't tell me you don't know how to swim?"
Expecting Song Siyu to retort, he heard her say, "I really don't know how to swim. No one ever taught me."
Xiao Youran immediately said, "Siyu, you didn't say that I thought you would. Let me teach you."
An Shishi also nodded and said, "Siyu, I know now. I can teach you too."
Song Siyu hesitated and said, "Maybe it's better not to."
Xu Xiuwen noticed the situation and said to the two girls, "Youran, Shishi, you guys accompany Yue'er to practice and share your experiences with her. Let me teach her."
Xiao Yueran didn't want Xu Xiuwen to teach Song Siyu.
Even though they were roommates, the thought of physical contact during the teaching process made her very uncomfortable, but she didn't have a suitable reason to stop it.
Moreover, she didn't stop An Shishi from learning earlier, so it wouldn't be appropriate to stop Song Siyu now.
Xiao Youran pursed her lips, feeling a bit frustrated.
An Shishi then said to Bai Yue'er, "Bai Yue'er, you continue practicing, I'll accompany you."
"Okay." Bai Yue'er nodded happily.
Xu Xiuwen paid no attention to the three girls and slowly walked towards Song Siyu.
Approaching the girl, he lowered his voice, "I'll teach you how to swim."
Hearing this, Song Siyu glanced up at him, then immediately lowered her head again.
"Would you like to say something?"
"No taking advantage of me," Song Siyu said lightly, then pushed herself up with her hands and jumped into the water.
But she overestimated her swimming skills. With a slip under her feet, she fell forward.
Fortunately, Xu Xiuwen was right in front of her and quickly reached out to grab her arm.
Song Siyu maintained a half-kneeling position in the water, her hands firmly held by Xu Xiuwen, and her forehead against his abdominal muscles, looking quite comical.
Xu Xiuwen couldn't help but laugh out loud as well.
Song Siyu's cheeks turned red, she quickly broke free from Xu Xiuwen's grasp, and stood firmly on her own.
Xu Xiuwen didn't say anything either, and began teaching Song Siyu how to swim.
However, Xu Xiuwen soon became tired.
Song Siyu is completely like a duck out of water, with poor comprehension and turning simple movements into high-difficulty ones, and her execution is extremely irregular.
Xu Xiuwen couldn't help but rub his temples.
Song Siyu also felt embarrassed; she's been studying earnestly, but just can't grasp it.
The other three girls also gradually noticed the situation here.
Bai Yue'er thought to herself, 'Finally, someone who's less clever than me.'
Xiao Youran secretly chuckled, as she had always thought highly of Song Siyu in other aspects, but was surprised by her swimming skills.
An Shishi calmly watched Song Siyu.
